And you'll certainly get no argument from me on the topic of limiting the government's intrusion into the open market.<br /><br />PH, there's that, of course. :)Rev.

Problem is in order for that to work we need to keep the government out of more than just legislating wages. There is a reason companies are making more now than ever and paying far less for employees and a reason companies that should have gone the way of the dodo didn't. <br /><br />The minimum wage thing isn't going to fix anything unless we get government out of deciding who lives and who dies. Yet as it sits now it isn't fair to the common working person either.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860897900615196454.post-16474123207863492542014-10-28T12:30:22.564-08:002014-10-28T12:30:22.564-08:00WSF, I had a boss who thought that minimum wage wa...WSF, I had a boss who thought that minimum wage was "incentive enough".
